Foam System
Firefighting foams are used in fixed and portable fire extinguishing systems. They are used primarily to combat flammable and combustible liquid fuel fires Aqueous foam solutions, created using foam concentrate mixed with water, are expanded with air to create foam. Foam is used to suppress liquid fuel vapors and cool the liquid surface.
Atmospheric Foam Concentrate Tanks
An atmospheric foam concentrate tank is one component of a foam proportioning system. The
AES foam tanks are compatible with all foam concentrate. An atmospheric concentrate tank is
typically used in conjunction with a AES “balanced pressure proportioner”. Storage tanks shall be
designed for storage of foam concentrate at atmospheric pressure and shall be available in vertical
or horizontal version.
